Xibo Display Scrolling Text in a Region

I would like to display scrolling text in a region which scrolls all across the bottom of a screen. It should just carry on scrolling as long as the template is displayed.

I have tried using the text media but the red box won’t expand to show across the region.

I assume I cannot feed the text from a file?

How can I show text scrolling across the bottom of a template.

I have created a region across the bottom of the template and then Add Text media but I get a red box in the editor and cannot expand that. Text is only displayed inside the red box.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards

I did some additional work and I got this working using some guidance from other posts.

The red box in the editor only updates when the region is saved. However the issue is that the red box doesn’t expand to include all or 95% of the region.

At the moment the only way I found to scroll text across all of the bottom of the screen is to make the region almost 50% bigger than the actual screen size.

Has anyone managed to scroll all across the bottom of the screen?

If you have a region with full width of your layout then text should use whole available space to display your content.

Similar with rss ticker, that is most commonly used in the bottom of the screen.

For example:

Marquee
Layout designer:


text editor:

Scroll - slightly bigger region, in this case it will be 3 ‘pages’ of text that will be scrolled through.
